Innocent.
Man who spent two decades in prison for double murder has charges dropped after DNA proves him innocent
A man who spent two decades behind bars after being convicted of killing a couple outside a church bible study class has been exonerated.
A judge dropped all charges against Dennis Perry after prosecutors announced that newly discovered DNA evidence from a hair sample showed he “may have been acquitted if that evidence had been available” during his 2003 trial.
Mr Perry, 59, received two consecutive life sentences for the 1985 murder of Harold and Thelma Swain in Georgia following his arrest in 2000.
He was convicted largely on the testimony of his ex-girlfriend’s mother, who said Mr Perry had told her he planned to kill Harold Swain.
The state did not reveal to the defence team that the woman had also been paid $12,000 in reward money for her testimony.
